The human lungs have the same surface area as a tennis court.
Fingernails grow about twice as fast as toe nails.

The brain operates on the same amount of power
as 10-watt light bulb.
The cartoon image of a light bulb over our head when a great thought occurs is literally true.
Our brain generates as much energy as a small light bulb
even when we are sleeping.

Now I know why we are called Dim Witted..cos a 10-watt bulb would be so so dim!!

But if we were brighter witted we may give out shocks
when we shake hands with each other! :shocked:
Shake hand??? :decision: Shock hand???
Or the hair in the head may stand upright :scared:
due to the current flowing in it!
Or they may even get scorched by
the heat/light and electricity! :flame:
Any day being a Dim-wit is far better than being nit-wit!
Am I correct dear Renu???

Dear Vr Ji,
I tend to have high static electric charge if I sit in AC room or even sit in AC car.
When I get out of the car or from any AC room I have to touch a non metal surface first cos if I touch any metal surface it will so painful when the static electric discharges.
Sometimes I have seen even small sparks.
I never shake hand with anyone after coming out of an AC room or AC car cos enough times the person who shook hands with me will wonder what was that?
Some have even asked me why is there an electric shock feeling when shake hands with you.
Static electric can be quite dangerous at a petrol station when one gets out of the car to fill petrol(here in M'sia we have to fill our own petrol..attendants do not do it for you..order by the Government)
Some petrol stations have a sign that says please discharge any static electric before filling up petrol.
Once a person got burnt cos of static electric during filling up his petrol.

I KNEW that you were highly charged intellectually, but that you are highly charged physically and also electrically is news to me!
Even walking on a fluffy carpet makes you electrostatically charged. The moment we touch the door handle, there will be mini fire work and a mild shock.
There is a saying "your wish or your funeral."
The petrol bunks can display this message.
"Discharge all static electricity.
It is our wish or your funeral!"

First pic looks like Snakes(snake like tree)..second pic looks like Shiva Linga (shiva linga like tree)

The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica.
The storage capacity of the human brain in electronic terms is thought vary wildly between 3 and 1,000 terabytes.
The National Archives of Britain, containing over 900 years of history, only takes up 70 terabytes!
That makes our brain’s memory power pretty impressive.

Our brain uses 20% of the oxygen that enters our bloodstream.
But the brain makes up only about 2% of our body mass.
It consumes more oxygen than any other organ in the body.
It is extremely susceptible to damages related to oxygen deprivation.
Deep breaths keep our brain happy and swimming in oxygenated
cells.
Another piece of scary news...
Measurable brain activity stops after 20 to 40 seconds.
That means the brain is functioning well till that time.
In the past after beheading publicly, the head was picked up, held
up and shown to the cheering crowd as a trophy.
It was more than a trophy in fact. :scared:
The head, in which the brain was still functioning, must have got a
real shock to see the thousands of peopel cheering its sad fate! :tsk:

The brain is much more active at night than during the day.
We would think that complicated tasks and interaction we do on a daily basis during our working hours would use the brain power a lot more than just going to sleep.
But the opposite is true.
When we turn off the light, our brain turns on.
Scientists don’t yet know why this happens but we have to thank the our brain for working over time to create all those lovely dreams and of course nightmares too.

நான்கு நிலைகள்!
“உறங்குவது போலும் சாக்காடு”, நாம் அறிவோம்.
உறங்கும் போது, நாம் ஆன்மாவில் ஒடுங்குவோம்.
இடம், பொருள், ஏவல், காலம் எல்லாமே,
இடமில்லாது அப்போது மறைந்து போகுமே!
கனவுலகு புகுந்ததும், நாம் கடவுள் ஆகின்றோம்!
நினைத்தைப் படைக்கும், திறன் அடைகின்றோம்!
“வானம்!”, என்றவுடன் நீல வானம் வந்திடும்!
“வனம்!” என்றவுடன் பச்சை வனம் உருவாகிடும்!
ஆதவன், சந்திரன், தாரகைகள் எல்லாம்,
பேதமில்லாமல் ஓடி வரும், அழைத்ததும்!
எந்தப் பொருளும், இடமும், காலமும்,
எந்த விலங்கும், மனிதனும், பறவையும்,
நினைத்த நொடியில் உருவாகிடுவர்;
நினைத்த போது மறைந்து செல்லுவர்!
நினைத்த படியே பேசிப் பழகுவர்;
நினைத்த செயல்களையே புரிவர்.
நம் சின்ன அறிவும், சிறிய அனுபவமும்,
நம் சின்னத் திறனும், சிறிய சக்தியும்,
சொன்னபடி உருவாகும் ஒரு பெரும்
மன்னுலகம்; ஒரு பெரும் மாய உலகம்!
கண்களை விழித்தால், காணவே காணோம்,
கற்பனையில் உருவான அந்த மாய உலகம்!
கனவைத் தாண்டினால், கனவு பொய் ஆகும்.
நனவு நிலையில், கனவுகள் பொய் ஆகும்.
நனவைத் தாண்டினால்… என்ன ஆகும்?
நனவைத் தாண்டினால், நனவும் பொய் ஆகும்!
நிறைந்த அறிவும், அளவில்லா அனுபவமும்,
குறைவில்லாத் திறனும், குவிந்த ஞானமும்,
செறிந்த அந்த உயரிய இறைவனின்,
சிறந்த கற்பனையே நம் நனவுலகம்!
கனவுலகு நம் கற்பனையின் படைப்பு,
நனவுலகு அவன் கற்பனையின் படைப்பு !
கனவைத் தாண்டினால், கனவு மறைவதுபோல்,
நனவைத் தாண்டினால், இவ்வுலகே மறையும்!
எங்கும் நிறைந்த இறைவனே இருப்பான்.
எல்லாப் பொருட்களும் அவனாக இருக்கும்!
நாம, ரூப, பேதம் இன்றி எல்லாம் அவனே.
நாம் காண்பதெல்லாம் எங்கும் பிரம்மமே.
இந்த அற்புத நிலையே துரியம் ஆகும்.
இந்த நிலை அடைந்தால் துயரம் போகும்!
உறக்கம், கனவு, நனவு, உறக்கம் என்றே,
கிறங்குகின்றோம் நாம் வாழ் நாளெல்லாம்;
உறக்கத்தையும், கனவையும் கடப்பது போல் ,
நனவையும் கடந்து, துரியத்தை அடைந்தால் ….
இல்லை பயங்கள் , இல்லை பாவங்கள் ,
இல்லை மொழிகள், இல்லை செயல்கள் ,

இன்பமே எங்குமே ! இன்பமே என்றுமே !

Scientists say the higher your I.Q. the more you dream. More info and imagination, more realistic the dreams will be!
But don’t take it as a sign you’re mentally lacking if you can’t recall your dreams. Only long dreams which affect us very deeply will be remembered.
But the average length of most of our dreams is only 2-3 seconds–barely long enough to register.

Neurons continue to grow throughout human life.
For years scientists and doctors thought that brain and neural tissue
couldn’t grow or regenerate.
Though not in the same manner as tissues in many other parts of the
body, neurons can and do grow throughout your life.
This has added a whole new dimension to the study of the brain and
the illnesses that affect it.

Information travels at different speeds within different types of
neurons. Not all neurons are the same.
There are a few different types within the body.
The transmission along these different kinds can be
as slow as 0.5 meters/sec or as fast as 120 meters/sec.
Different strokes for different folks is correct!

The brain itself cannot feel pain.
While the brain might be the pain center when we cut our finger or prick it, the brain itself does not have pain receptors and cannot feel pain.
That does not rule out our headaches. The brain is surrounded by tissues, nerves and blood vessels that have plenty receptive to pain and can give us a hammering headache.

Nearly 80% of the brain is water.
Our brain isn’t the same, firm, gray mass seen on TV.
Living brain tissue is a squashy, pink and jelly-like organ...
thanks to the loads of blood and high water content of the tissue.
So when you feel dehydrated get a drink to keep your brain hydrated.

Lessons to learn from the Brain.
Brain is an organ that lies in Cerebro Spinal Fluid(CSF) and is totally unable to experience pain.
So be like the Brain..lying in the ocean of existence and just be a silent witness and totally unattached to the pains of the surroundings.
Wow we have a best example of detachment right in our head but we never realize it.
Thank you VR Ji for putting this two posts and I was able to co relate it.

Every day the average person loses 60-100 strands of hair.
Unless bald, people shed hair pretty heavily on a daily basis.
Hair loss will vary according to the season, pregnancy,
other illnesses, diet deficiencies and advancing age.
